Y8 D3

Oh boy did I do a lot yesterday. I got up at 4:30 and headed out around 6:30. I walked to the train station and started my journey. Of course, the one day I have to myself it's raining. Not like drizzle normal London-esque rain, but real fucking rain. Sigh. Whatever. I dealt with it. Took the train to London Bridge station, then changed to the Northern line and got off at King's Cross. It was a little before 8 when I got there and luckily the HP store was already open. Got a bunch of stuff for people including a t-shirt for myself. Took tourist pictures.

Got back on the train and headed to Piccadilly Circus. Got off the train and walked about 2 miles. During that walk I saw 10 Downing, the Castle grounds, the Palace, Big Ben, the Eye, the Dungeon, and all sorts of random stuff. I have taken about 700 pictures this week.

Found Southwark station and headed back to the hotel. I was back around noon. Took a nap until 2. Walked to a "NY Italian" restaurant. The waiters were dressed as superheroes, they had Sister Act on the TV, and Chuck Berry on the radio. Um, okay.

Headed back to the hotel and packed. So far everything is fitting. Barely but it's fitting. Watched TV and went to bed at 9:30. Couldn't sleep until 10 though. Up at 2:15 for this. Showered and ready. My driver will be here in about 90 minutes.

I checked in for my flight on line and don't have boarding passes which is tripping me out, but I will get them. I will have four hours to get to my gate. Should be enough. It's going to be 25 hours until I am back at PDX but here we go.
